Ways of Knowing and CIT: Women Living with HIV/AIDS in the US
Abstract
Professor Rosanna DeMarco will be speaking about "ways of knowing" and the Catholic Intellectual Traditions as they relate to her research with women with HIV/AIDS in the United States, particularly Massachusetts. She will address the current trends of HIV/AIDS incidence among African American women, community-based knowledge development. She'll also discuss how to develop and understand meaning for these women, activism and future research.聽 Her talk is inspired by Monika Hellwig's work on using experience and knowledge as way of becoming a better person in community and gaining a deeper understanding of human life.
